For large deflection analyses that include a Contact Tool under the Connections folder, this feature makes sure that the application incorporates large deflection at both the connection and analysis levels of your simulation.

Insert a Contact Tool from a Connections folder. As shown, the Details category Contact Tool Settings, and the beta property, Large Deflection, become visible. Options for this property include No (default) and Yes.

When the Large Deflection property in the Solver Controls of the Analysis Settings is set to Yes when this property is also set to Yes, the application uses the same program controlled defaults for contacts results under Contact Tool as the overall analysis (based on the Solver Controls).
